Comment on Well Met By Moonlight

    I had a half remembered connection between Dee and spying (and hence 'Reese's' former occupation as a spook). Looking into it, I'm not entirely incorrect (and, in fact, the 007 of Bond legend came from his codename), though Walsingham would probably have been a better choice for the time period. Still, Dee certainly tried to talk to angels, which might not be a bad time-appropriate substitute for The Machine.

    I may be *way* over-thinking this, though. Especially as you've intimated that your story isn't Elizabethan. :)

    I blame reading the wrong sort of books.

      Huh. I didn't know that! Well, I knew about the angels, he shows up a lot in urban fantasy and anything mentioning enochian, but I'd never heard he was connected to spying. Cool! *grins* Thanks for that little nugget!

      And there's no such thing as the wrong sort of books. I firmly maintain this. *nods, grins*

        Well, the wrong kind of books if you don't want your mind sprouting random connections, at any rate. :)

        Glad I could help!

        And I'm a little amused that the second Carter/Morgan story I've found has been posted just over a week after I posted the first part of the first. It seems that I've got a lot to live up to. :) (Especially with the chemistry - all the two of them want to do at the moment it bicker. It's very sad.)
